Want to check to see if Briggs has access to a specific journal? Go to the Briggs library homepage and click on "Find a Journal." Then, type in the name of the journal to find out if we have access, what years we have access to, and if we have print or online versions available.
If you ever see an article that is asking you to pay for access, don't pay! Instead, try Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Through ILL, you can submit a request for an article and the ILL team will work to get you a free (emailed) version.
To get to ILL, go to the Briggs Library homepage and click on InterLibrary Loan in the blue box.
